The Road We Take

Everything we do in life forms a road. Our life span, our aging, our career, our endeavors, our relationships-all of these form a sequence that becomes the road we walk. When we walk along a road, we should not regret another road not taken. Those who are mature accept this. We cannot travel a path while walking another. If we go to one destination, then it is inevitable that we will miss others.
lt is tempting to linger upon regrets and suppositions, especially when times are unhappy. Maybe we could have been more famous or richer. Maybe we could have done more as we grow older. But it is far better to remember that we make our own road one day at a time. If we have been fully involved with our own life and have been making our own decisions, there is no reason for regret.
As we grow older, it becomes critical to fulfill what we find important. The more we understand our goals, the more we can properly gauge how close we are to them. That gives us a very powerful understanding.
Don't let your path be as if on a raft upon an uncontrollable river. You control which road to take, please take the one which leads to no regeats and that is the one which will lead you to the greatest happiness.
